KILLING KIND – “DESPERATELY HOLDING ON”
INDEPENDENT
The single “Desperately Holding On” is about the climate catastrophe we are facing and was written after Killing Kind singer witnessed a fire in a forest in the Northern Swedish wilderness. Helicopters were water-bombing the fire but just some hundered meters away people had lit a fire for barbecue… We seem to be more attached to our cars, to consumption and to the vacations abroad than to our planet. Earth is dying while humanity desperately holds on to something doomed to die.
Desperately Holding on is a song with strong connections to classic post-punk with obvious nods to the 1980’s. It is driven by Mats Molund’s effective drums, Mats Wigerdal’s sparkling synth arpeggios and a chorus guitar and simple bassline by Björn Norberg.
Killing Kind released a debut album in 2023 and the single “This Beautiful World soon got rotation on Swedish radio and the song was later picked up by radio stations in USA, Canada, Mexico, France, Greece, Lithuania, Great Britain, Germany, New Zeeland and China. With the new singles and the upcoming album Killing Kind aims even higher, to reach a larger audience all over the world. Killing Kind is based in Uppsala in Sweden, where singer and guitarist Björn Norberg lives, and in Stockholm.
